- Feridas precoces, vinculação e emoções : o papel destes fatores ao nível da agressividade em adultos portuguesesPublication . Antunes, Diana Filipa Pereira; Moreira, Diana Patrícia da Silva DiasThe aim of this study was to explore the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, attachment styles and emotional regulation, as well as the impact of these variables on levels of aggression in portuguese adults. The sample consisted of 401 participants (M = 29.63, SD = 12.45), and a quantitative methodology was adopted. The data collection protocol included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Family ACE Questionnaire (FAQ), Adult Attachment Scale – Short Form (AAS–SF), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Form (DERS–SF), Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) and Alcool Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The results showed that there was no statistically significant association between adverse childhood experiences and levels of aggression. On the other hand, positive correlations were identified between insecure attachment styles and aggression, with anxious attachment showing the greatest magnitude. Emotional regulation difficulties showed a moderate positive association with levels of aggression, emerging as the strongest predictor of this variable. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that attachment styles and difficulties in emotional regulation significantly predict aggression. In addition, statistically significant differences were found between the sexes. Males show higher levels of total and physical aggression, while females show higher levels of adverse childhood experiences. That said, the results obtained reinforce the importance and role of attachment styles and emotional regulation in terms of aggression in portuguese adults.
